The poet titles it Tardiyyah (Hunt Poem). With this title, the poem admits its link to the Umayyad-born and Abbāsid-matured genre of the 'poem of the courtly hunt,' Tardiyyah. Afīfī Matar's understanding of his no longer courtly, modernist poem is therefore hermeneutically connected to his understanding of the old genre, informing his modern mythopoetic employ of the archaic motif of 'the morning of the hunter.' This essay also discusses: Afīfī Matar's place among the European and American poets of radical Modernism, especially, regarding the mythopoetic stance of Wallace Stevens; the problem of the notorious difficulty and obscurity ( suūbah and ghumūd ) of Afīfī Matar's poetic language; and the general search of modern Arab poets, among them Adūnīs, for a new poetic language. Finally, the essay singles out Afīfī Matar's Tardiyyah and his very personal mythopoesis as a total achievement in the presentation of a Modernist Arabic poem-an achievement analogous to Wallace Stevens' 'central poem,' that is, A Primitive like an Orb. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Literary Criticism src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Journal of Arabic Literature is the property of Brill Academic Publishers and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
